a mm or two out

That's Rafael's boot holding the frame in place. After he tested it, he decided it was a millimetre or two out - so he has taken it back into the workshop. The time frame is immaterial as our story has no dead line lying somewhere choking on a spreadsheet. #lesfolies' frame of mind is a bit out too, but then we all have our limitations. Even master carpenters have their limitations when it comes to what it might take to sandpaper her brain to a better fit.

Moral: This is why so many people tend to frame their affirmations.

troyeville's lautrec

This looks like another #lesbin to Dear Johannes.

Somebody's getting in big trouble.

This happened yesterday. What's more, in the early hours of this morning, a visitor from Spain googled 'lautrec red haired' and landed here on #lesfolies's blog - on a post of the "Dans le lit" image which you can find on the family tag to the right if you are also feeling like the hot-blooded Spanish man.

Troyeville's Lautrec was here too early this morning, fixing a mouth and adding his own touches here and there.

And Troyeville's Basquiat came to visit while he was at it. And Dear Johannes told #lesfolies this visitation resulted in a whole lot of goings on that she had to concentrate on to understand and it was a bit difficult with her own goings on going on.

I wonder what is big trouble and whether you can also get a rosette for it.

To lose. To find. Evl Jon unearths lost treasure everywhere others see only trash.

In the dark in the night everywhere people have dreams shining through fear and old plastic - that a man was covered in this morning where we found him - on our way to school, fast asleep on the Troyeville Bed, with two legs sticking out. Shoes on.

Story for another day.

Observatory Curve used to be Death Bend

This dustbin has been making a lot of us feel sick for a long time.

It got so depressing I was closing my eyes on Observatory Curve on the way to take Chili to school every morning. It was like this for about a year which meant that we nearly died on the way to school throughout Grade 8 (a combination of aesthetic fall-out and car crashing). Even that piece of red plastic which reminded me of such awful things I do not want to write them down was there for months. You could smell this dustbin just by remembering it as you were falling asleep at night in a soft bed.

Somehow this skorokoro attempt to put another perspective on things did not make me feel less trashed by whatever the maggots were doing in there. And no: I cannot explain why it took me so long to "become initiative and act" (advice received from Fredensreich Hundertwasser over a decade ago). Perhaps I should stop smoking more often. Of course it also helps not have enough paying work at the beginning of a year replete with young strong men around.

The road to school is far less dangerous now that we can do it with our eyes open and our noses in the air.

(You might want to buffer this video on pause so you can watch it through without the time-jerk)
